This collection of short stories contains a multitude of very intriguing stories alongside ones that don’t hit for me. The Undefeated, Hills Like White Elephants, Fifty Grand, and Today is Friday stood out to me as my favorites.

There were some great stories like "The Undefeated" and "Hills like white elephants". A couple of characters reminded me of Cormac McCarthy. Maybe Hemingway is one of his influences. I don't know.

I didn't think these were that amazing. Some decent ones in there, but mostly lacking. Maybe I just prefer his novels (Old Man and the Sea excepted)

A nice collection of short stories. He really has a way of telling a story subtly and succinctly. Favorite stories were "An Alpine Idyll," "A Pursuit Race," and "Today is Friday."
